Senior
and Disabled Canine Care: "As our best friends age, everything
is a little harder for them. About 5 months ago my dog Whistler slipped a disc in her back (not sure why, it just happened),
old age maybe? As a result she lost her ability to use her back legs. I treat my dogs like family members, so
as you can imagine I was devastated. I did some of my own research and found alternative therapies outside of traditional
veterinary medicine, to help her through her recovery. I put her in a physical therapy program that included massage
therapy, hydrotherapy and acupuncture. I KNOW.....it sounds incredible, I wish I could go! Whistler has made incredible
progress in her recovery. She is now the fastest dog on the strand with her wheels! She can now move her back
legs very well, and even walk a bit on her own. The most important thing is that she is happy and participating in life
again! Dogs have a relentless spirit; they can adapt to virtually any situation. I'm sure you've seen
a 3 legged dog? I"m sharing my story with you to let you know that you do have options for your aging dog.
I am happy to share my advice and experience with you at no charge. I adore senior dogs! I want to help them in
any way that I can." Kim Guerin
